You reach down and pick up the glistening item. A bright silver necklace with a crescent charm on it slips through your fingers. It seemed to glow in the moonlight. Flashbacks of my past rush forward in time. This is the same necklace that your best friend had given you.

Why did Daehyun have this necklace? You carefully tuck the necklace into your left pocket, making sure to push it all the way down to the bottom. You are so shocked, you don’t even know how to react. How was it possible that… that… thief take it?

You keep walking down that grassy path and take shelter under a huge leaf. You break off another leaf and use it as a blanket. Even though you close your eyes, you can't get a single wink of sleep. You keep seeing the necklace twinkling in your mind. But in reality, you can barely make out a shadow. It walks up, and it walks down. But not a single sound could be heard as the shadow walked.

The next morning, your limbs feel heavy. You take out the necklace. It sparkles so brightly in the sun. You can see your own reflection on the chipped crescent. If the necklace could reflect your face and show that you are who you are, why the moon couldn’t do that was just… simply… heart-breaking…

As you stand up, someone helps you up. You look up and stumble a bit. As you look down to see if the crescent necklace is still there. You can feel your jaw drop slightly was you see a drop of clear, sparkling liquid fall down from the end of the crescent. Only one thought comes to your mind: ‘Tears of a phoenix.’

‘You okay there?’ the voice of that someone says. As you look up, you see rough hands holding onto your shoulders, keeping you upright.
